It gave me an extra 15 years to live (from 73 to 88).

I've got a mild family history of coronary artery disease, so that knocked me down a little. Moderate stress levels didn't help either.

It worked out OK for Lester Burnham for a while, but it caught up with him in the end.
I try to find activities where I have no stress. You're correct in that to trade work stress for financial stress is not a good trade off but what do you do with your time away from work. My fathers life was mostly work and church with no outlet. I golf, bike and try to do activities with my sons with reduces my stress. I will never be a bishop but I hope to be here for my sons beyond the age of 50.

Got me to 80.4, which is pretty good unless you are 79 years old.

According to this test, danimal is a pedophile and I am going to live to be 94.

Postscript: Danimal says the number is actually my emotional age.

I don't know. How old are you? I'm 30 so I am scheduled to die in 2071.

Well I'm scheduled to die a bit earlier than that, but I'm pretty good at procrastinating, I'll see I can't delay it a bit. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to cohort with a cute thirty year old.

I went from 37 to 18 with a life expectancy of 93 years. Seems more than a bit optimistic to me.
